Hello,

If you are using a standard electric fuel pump on a fuel injected vehicle it is most likely not putting out enough pressure. Fuel injected vehicles need any where between 40 and 60 PSI depending on make and model. Most standard pumps only put out about 14 - 17 PSI.

If pump is putting out enough pressure then would check fuel pump pressure regulator.
